It was the official name for a long time, but recently went through a
change. Why? I dunno. Never really cared enough to look. Prob an issue
with money and support.

It is just one of those things... I knew they went through the change, but
always used openprojects instead of irc.nblug.org. I also knew we were
publishing irc.nblug.org on our pages and also setup in our DNS to point
to open projects (Eric told me once.) But I did not make any connection to
the two as both needing to be changed (as I changed my own client's server
list) since theye were on separate mental "linked lists", or I would have
said something. (There was no lookup between the nodes on one list for
nodes being compared to nodes in another lists. Maybe there was a mental
memory leak that was magically recovered when the location of the
allocated memory was found during a cleanup, triggered by the first e-mail
asking if irc.nblug.org was down. ;-)
